"The Sampler" from Beth Brown-Reinsel's book, Knitting Ganseys. Cascade Venezia Worsted, 70% merino + 30% silk, on US 5 and 7. Initial is "S" for Swift. Nice stitch definition.
A knitting sampler, knitted last night and about to be frogged. I used the yarn that I got from the Biggan Dups class on Continental Knitting at the iKnit Weekender. It is DK weight 100% Australian Merino Wool and a delight to knit with. All of this stitch patterns were worked from "400 Knitting Stitches: Great Stitch Patterns" (Murdoch Books) - except the "heel stitch" which I found on www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/525 - and the stitch names and page numbers can be seen in the 'notes' as you hover over the photos on their flickr page.
Some process shots of my HST sampler quilt. Made a a prize for the winner of a fundraiser auction for my friend's doula co-op.
For my sampler blanket - the first knitting project I started, but not the first I've finished. I've been working on it for a year and a half, and have only knit up half of the yarn. Plymouth Yarn's Encore 25% wool 75% acrylic.
I'm not so sure I really like the yarn, now that I've knit with wool/alpaca blends and Noro... but I do like that I've been able to grow and challenge my knitting skills by making each set of squares an excuse to learn a new pattern.
Finished! I had a hard time taking nice photos of it, but these will do. Maybe when the weather finally dries out, I'll try a few outside.
Created for Kate's Birthday ATC Swap July birthdays.
It was created using two colorways of scissor fabric that I “pieced” together. I stitched some fancy stitches with my sewing machine, and added a couple of miscellaneous buttons. I wanted it to look thrown together. Like it was made with scraps for practice.

Final blocks for PS I quilt pinwheel sampler quilt along. Whew! done with the blocks!
These are SeeSaw from Quilter's Cache.
Finished! I had a hard time taking nice photos of it, but these will do. Maybe when the weather finally dries out, I'll try a few outside.
The cursive letter "A a" is hand embroidered and rests on machine stitched notebook paper-inspired lines. All this cuteness is done on a beautiful natural cotton and the other side is fabric I designed and had printed by Spoonflower on a wonderful linen/cotton blend. The lining is red polka dot cotton and the zipper is black. This pouch also features a brown ribbon handle.
These 3 bold fabrics work great together!
This zipper pouch is my own pattern, wider at the base makes it roomier inside. It measures 6" wide and 5" high.
